Introduction Introduction

♦ Expect space charge efgects (SCE) to be one of two leading detector efgects at ProtoDUNE-SP

  • The other: ADC issues (stuck codes, nonlinearity)
  • Important focus of calibration studies prior to fjrst
  • perations of detector

♦ Open question: how much do we expect fmow of liquid argon to impact underlying space charge confjguration?

  • Ion drift velocity in electric fjeld and expected liquid

argon fmow velocity are similar in magnitude

  • Could lead to build-up of space charge in certain parts of

detector, or at least modify space charge distribution

♦ Today: show fjrst study of LAr fmow on SCE

Fluid Flow Simulation Fluid Flow Simulation

♦ Developed by Erik Voirin for ProtoDUNE-SP (previously produced for 35-ton) – see DUNE Doc DB #928 ♦ 3D simulation of LAr fmow, 8 mm/s ion drift @ 500 V/cm, uniform space charge deposition from cosmics ♦ Ion absorption at fjeld cage, APA, CPA, and all solid

  • bjects inside cryostat – see Erik’s talk for more info

SCE Simulation SCE Simulation

♦ Make use of code suite developed by M. Mooney for simulation of SCE given space charge density map from Erik’s simulation

  • SpaCE – Space Charge Estimator

♦ Fourier series solution for electric fjeld on grid, radial basis functions for interpolation of fjeld between grid points, and ray tracing based on RK45 for determining spatial displacements due to SCE ♦ Nominally assumes linear space charge distribution (zero at anodes, maximal at cathode), but code suite has capability of using arbitrary space charge distribution as input

  • Compare nominal SCE maps to ones including LAr fmow

Discussion Discussion

♦ Main efgects of liquid argon fmow on SCE:

  • Magnitude of distortions roughly 2/3 in comparison to

nominal case (no fmow)

– Ion deposition rate used by M. Mooney and Erik are almost identical: ~2×10-10 C/m3/s

  • Very difgerent distributions in the two drift volumes
  • SCE smaller at top of TPC (also seen at MicroBooNE)

♦ Distributions still smoothly vary across drift volumes, as in nominal case ♦ Noteworthy: no large build-up of space charge predicted in any one place when including efgects of fmuid fmow ♦ Useful case study for qualitative understanding, but may be very difgerent in reality

  • Essential to have data-driven calibration

Space Charge Efgects Space Charge Efgects

♦ Space charge efgects: build-up of slow-moving argon ions in TPC volume due to large cosmic fmux (affmicting near-surface LArTPCs, e.g. ProtoDUNEs)

  • Observed at MicroBooNE: MICROBOONE-NOTE-1018-PUB
  • Distorts E fjeld (recombination smearing), leads to spatial

distortions in position of reconstructed ionization charge

Using Muon Halo Using Muon Halo

♦ Muon halo can fjll in gap (active volume in red, above) ♦ However, relative to cosmics, rate is low: O(100)/spill ♦ Need CRT triggers to save as many as possible

♦ What about using other t0-tagging methods to fjll gaps? ♦ For example, MicroBooNE’s anode/cathode piercers:

  • See public note: MICROBOONE-NOTE-1028-PUB

♦ But this sample still sees a gap in the middle of TPC...
